A wall shelf is a timeless decorative element that suits many interiors, regardless of size or style. Yet for some, it can be a real challenge. What should you place on it? How should you mount it so it looks aesthetically pleasing? We’ve got some tips!
Wall Shelf for Small Interiors
In small spaces, a wooden wall shelf serves two purposes. On one hand, it acts as décor by filling an empty wall over a sofa, bed, or dresser. On the other, it provides extra storage. No place to keep your books? Want to stylishly display some crafts? Or maybe you have loads of office supplies? In a studio apartment or small home office, a wall shelf is the perfect solution, helping you use every inch of available space. Plus, a wooden shelf lends a stylish touch to any arrangement. Whether you love the Scandinavian look or an industrial loft style, wood is the ideal material.
A Scandinavian-Style Wooden Shelf
Speaking of Scandinavian style—yes, a wall-mounted shelf fits perfectly in such spaces. It looks great on its own or combined with several identical, simple forms. A wall shelf in a Scandinavian-inspired living room or bedroom should practically blend into the space. After all, the most important items are what you place on its surface. Wooden furniture never goes out of style, so even if you do a total revamp of your interior, your Scandinavian-style shelf will still look on-trend. All you need is a simple design and a natural finish.
The Kant Wall Shelf – A New Arrival from Borcas
While we’re on the topic of wooden furniture, we’d like to highlight the latest addition to our range: the Kant shelf, handcrafted from natural oak. Its minimalist form is perfect for a living room, bedroom, small home office corner, or entryway. Interestingly, there are no visible mounting fixtures—meaning it has an entirely minimalist aesthetic with no protruding or unnecessary parts. If you appreciate a tidy look or Scandinavian design, it’s the perfect choice. And you won’t have to worry about how to mount it so it appears neat—our wooden furniture is very simple to install. It won’t take much of your time to transform a blank wall. The hanging shelf will draw attention to the meticulous detail we put into every piece.
A Wall Shelf That Won’t Disrupt Your Décor
When choosing a shelf, remember it should highlight your interior arrangement, not overpower it. As a decorative feature, it also needs to suit what you want to display. Because it has a high weight limit, you can place books, CDs, decorative baskets, containers, or even a flower vase on it. A wall shelf is also a brilliant idea in a child’s room, adding extra space for stuffed animals or toys. If you’re searching for a spot to display potted plants, a hanging shelf is up to the task. Its simplicity and natural tone will make greenery or colorful blooms pop. Where you mount it is really up to your vision for the space. In some interiors, lining them up vertically will create a cohesive look, while in others, spacing them out on a larger wall can form an interesting yet simple statement piece. A wall-mounted shelf always catches the eye, and to personalize it, try displaying your favorite photographs.
A Wooden Shelf that’s Still on Trend!
We firmly believe that a wall shelf is a timeless solution. Some might assume it’s only a place to put dust-collecting objects—not necessarily! A wooden wall shelf can create a cozy, well-planned atmosphere. The key is to place decorations and items that look visually appealing.
